Nader to speak out
Ralph Nader, probably Amer
ica's most famous and most
effective social critic, will visit
the Guilford College campus on
Monday, March 31, at 6:15 p.m.
for a press conference in Stern
berger Auditorium. The press
conference will be followed by a
reception for Nader in Boren
Lounge of Founders Hall at 6:45
for members of the community.
Capping off the evening,
Nader will give a lecture at 9:00
p.m. in Aycock Auditorium on
the UNC-G campus. There will
be no charge for any of these
events for members of the
College Community. Students
will need their ID's to attend the

Tucked away downstairs
in the Guilford library, down
with Dr. Seuss and Johann
Strauss, is the Media Services
Center. Movie posters and pho
tographs speckle the walls, a
colorful invitation to students
wandering by.
Charles Dyer, often seen
busily sprinting up and down
the stairs, is the wizard who
magically keeps this operation
running smoothly.
The Center has a three-fold
purpose. It houses, maintains,
and distributes all audio-visual
equipment on campus. This
includes projectors, televisions,
video cameras, and photograph
ic cameras, as well as audio and
listening equipment, all avail
able to students.
The Center also houses all
necessary equipment for pro
duction work such as plastic
laminating, dry-mounting pho
tographs, silk-screening fabric,

Nader's appearance is being
sponsored by the North Caro

Group, the Guilford College
Community Senate and College
Union, and eight UNC-G organ
izations. His speech is entitled
"Consumerism in the 1980's:
The Role of Students and the
Community."
As a crusading attorney, Na
der first made headlines in 1965
with his book, Unsafe at Any
Speed, the scathing indictment
that criticized the auto industry
for producing unsafe vehicles.

teach anyone the skills for a
small charge which covers the
cost of materials. Dyer encour
ages students to take advantage
of the Center, which he de
scribes as one of the most useful
resources the library has to
offer.
Another important aspect of
the Media Services Center is its
educational role at Guilford
Many professors and students
alike venture downstairs to find
useful materials. Music, AJ and
History professors often dupli
cate ninety minute class tapes
in an amazing three minutes.
Likewise, students discover
overhead transparencies which
add the perfect touch to those
grueling class projects.
As student use grows steadi
ly, more and more facets are
opening up at the Center.. Says
Dyer, "We're increasing what
we do for the people constant

has grown into a national net
work of citizen action groups
that have had major impact in
areas ranging from tax reform
to nuclear energy.
One of Nader's many brain
childs was the PIRC movement.
First started in 1970 in Minne
sota and Oregon, there are now
PIRC's in twenty-seven states,
including North Carolina and
here at Guilford College.
Art Donsky, staffperson with
NC PIRC, stated, "Nader's
appearance at Guilford will be a
great opportunity for members
of the community to meet him
up close, and to ask him
questions." He continued,
"This event will be the high
point of this year's work. There
will be at least 500 seats
reserved for members of the
Guilford College Community at
the 9:00 p.m. lecture."
Admission to the lecture is
$2.00 for the general public.
